Brain Injuries

Brain injuries bring more than 400,000 people to hospitals every year. Approximately three-quarters are diagnosed as having suffered a mild to moderate injury - injuries that can be subtle, persistent, and potentially long term. Anyone is at risk for a traumatic brain injury, both adults and children .

The most challenging aspect of representing TBI (traumatic brain injury) survivors is that many times they suffer minimal outward physical manifestations of injury. These patients are told they will recover. As a result many do not receive appropriate care and treatment for the disabilities that follow, including physical, cognitive, psychological, and social impairments. Maximizing damages for these plaintiffs requires a thorough understanding of traumatic brain injury. Since the medical community generally speaking is not well trained in neurobehavior, physicians often fail to diagnose the short-term and potentially chronic aspects of closed head injuries in the regular office visit. Outside of the regional head injury treatment centers, neurologists on a day-to-day basis do not treat trauma victims. Neuro-surgeons see only the most severe cases of acute disorders and coma.
